Anyone actually seen this in the field.


EDIT: found this: http://driftarmor.com/Scion_FRS_Drift_Bar.html

What's the point of this other then being slightly lighter? I would assume this would be bad in an accident and wouldn't really shield you from anything.

Do want.. i have the grill delete, and hate the original crash bar hanging down there

Would this be better than OEM crash bar when in a crash? If not why do people use these? Cheaper to replace? I noticed them on a lot of drift cars and I never understood why...

Are you fucking serious?


yeah, lets take off the OEM engineered crash structure for something called "drift armor." sounds like a great idea.

wut bro cmon it's AMERICAN dawg yo DRIFT!!11!1one!

This is a really cool way to make your car wildly dangerous in a front end collision.

Those crash beams are meant for low speed collisions to prevent damage, not for safety purposes. IIRC correctly, they're meant for collisions under 10 MPH and the foam bumper for collisions under 5 MPH. Those heavy beams are required by the US DOT ONLY. Other countries tend to have smaller and lighter crash beams.

Oh ok. Take yours off, go drive into a wall at high speed, and let me know how it turns out.

Great, so you'll take it off to drive home?

Look at the JDM STI crash beam. It is about 50% lighter than the USDM one. Don't see any more Japanese STI owners dying than American ones. In fact, look at all the STI owners going FMIC, I'd say they're still safer than OEM Evos. I own an STI with a FMIC for reference, so yes, I have driven without the beam on.

Edit: I'm not defending or endorsing the Drift Armor bars, I'm just clearing up facts.

AFAIK The whole point of the oem crash bar is to collapse and absorb impact in a front end collision- its less about way and more about reducing the force that gets transferred to the passenger compartment.

you aint bout dat life cuh

Won't help you either way
